To a degree, it's almost impossible to shoot the book exactly as written, because the book has a very dry form, basically you have a minutely and very accurate scientific expedition diary of the exploration of Antarctica beat-by-beat, with not much character or anecdote, until the impossible breaks through with the apparition of the albino penguins, the discovery of the city, and the discovery of the remnants of the Old Ones, and the fossil records that the expedition stumbles on. You actually need to create character and anecdote to frame all those moments in the novel. So in that sense, a straight adaptation is very difficult. One of my favorite moments in the book is when they look back in the horizon and they see something horrible and indescribable, I think that that's a really difficult moment to have on-film because film is description. But I think that it should be attempted. And I will attempt to give my own solution to that moment.
